2 Greetings and salutations to fellow built environment professionals SAMFA: FM an enabler of sustainable enterprise performance and effective business support services. ISO 41001:208 FM integrates multiple disciplines to influence efficiency and productivity of economies of societies, communities and organisations, and manner in which individuals interact with the built environment. FM affects health, well-being and quality of life through the services it manages and delivers.

5 Contextual Challenges National/Provincial: Fiscal constraints Credit Rating Downgrades Flat-lined economic trajectory Complex regulatory and reporting environment Urbanisation and growth of metro / secondary towns City: Water availability / drought Affordability and housing Access to jobs and services Failing rail and congestion Increasing informality Increasing dependencies on state for services / support Jobless growth Spatial fragmentation and inequality

6 Key Metro Scale Spatial Insights Atlantis CBD Century City Belville Athlone Khayelitsha Mitchells Plain Strand

7 Key Metro Scale Insights In Quantitative Terms unemployment rate incr. from 19.2% % ( Strict ) 2. Burgeoning costs for City R1,4bn R1,9bn re: costs of free basic service packages (2016/ /20*) 3. Low-income group spends up to 43% of income on access (well in excess of international norms) est. 500,000 citizens unable to afford any transport means households living in informal settlements incr. by 39%; in informal backyards 257%; informal dwellings 76% (18% of all h holds)

8 Some Key Commercial Property Headlines (Tech Supplement of MSDF) Displacement of industrial jobs to peripheral industrial node (e.g. Saxonburg, Rivergate, Brackengate) Cape Town s CBD remains remains most significant business / employment node in region: albeit growing at slower rate than Tygervalley / Century City (since 2005); Knowledge economy increasingly concentrated in four business nodes: o o CBD, Salt River-Woodstock, Tyger Valley and Century City. Since 2005, 2 out of 3 new office jobs estimated to have been located in these areas Bellville CBD affected by flight of A-grade office accommodation and highend retail activity to Tygervalley. Despite public investment in infrastructure and facilities private investors have not invested at scale in south-eastern areas e.g. Philippi, Khayelitsha / Delft.

9 Non-residential development

10 So if this is the context what s the plan? And what are we legally required to do?

11 Legal Aspects Post SPLUMA*: Municipal Spatial Development Framework (MSDF) Component of City s 5-yr IDP - Integrated Development Plan Provides longer-term view of growth, development and investment (10-20 yrs) Legally required to Provide policy guidance to direct decision-making and investment. Direct and support private and public investment by identifying priority investment areas; and Determine a capital expenditure framework for development programmes, depicted spatially. *(Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, Act 16 of 2013)

12 2018 CTMSDF Spatial Vision The City is intent on building in collective partnership with the private and public sector - a more inclusive, integrated and vibrant city that addresses the legacies of apartheid, rectifies existing imbalances in the distribution of different types of residential development, and avoids the creation of new structural imbalances in the delivery of services. Key to achieving this spatial transformation is transit-oriented development (TOD) and associated densification and diversification of land uses.

13 Risk Biodiversity Agriculture / Water From CTSDF 2012 emphasis on land use / urban edge, cadastral To MSDF 2018 nested maps directing metro scale intent & policy Consolidated Spatial Plan Concept

14 Spatial Transformation Areas (STAs): Rationale and Investment STA Urban Inner Core - UIC Incremental Growth and Consolidation Areas IGA Discouraged Growth Areas DGA Critical Natural Areas CNA Unique Areas x 4 City Infrastructure and Investment Priority Priority when serving existing development / communities. Subject to capacity / Master planning when serving proposed development. Zero City OpEx Priority Priority Zero (for new) Focused on enhancement and expansion of assets and access to assets May be high UIC + IGA = available urban footprint for intensification (+/-37% of City s geographical boundary) NB: Land use intensification proposals in DGA and CNA will not ordinarily be supported

15 The Spatial Anatomy of the (Blue) Turtle A series of trunk routes (rail and MyCiti) IPTN 2032 A spatial hierarchy of economic nodes and intensification corridors served by public transport to: improve mobility linkages, enhance future jobs and accommodation options A focused investment rationale within an urban core

16 Areas of Land Use Intensification (based on TOD principles) City s spatial focus based on an Urban Inner Core comprising: Majority of marginalised communities as identified in Socio-Economic Index Majority of commercial and industrial nodes and Transit Accessible Precincts (TAPS)f Full extent of Urban Development Zone (UDZ) Inclusive of airport / ports & primary freight infrastructure Public Transport: Phase 2a implementation of My Citi and Blue Downs passenger rail link extension

17 MSDF approach seeks to: Provide Metro-scale principle and strategic direction to progressively transform Cape Town s spatial form and function Curb urban sprawl and segregated development in favour of inclusive integrated development. Identify no go areas and protect critical natural areas. Secure an Integrated Infrastructure Investment Programme supportive of UIC-first - spatial targeting principles Maximise intensity of EXISTING latent land use rights; and vacant land within existing urban footprint

18 R13 Billion R14 Billion MSDF approach > directing where and what City prioritises re: capex & opex / infrastructure investments

19 R13 Billion R14 Billion AND It should have fundamental impact on decisionmaking re: applications, budgets and an integrated investment programme etc.
